This is a plasma applet that displays the moon phases. If you click on it, then a dialog showing the dates for the next moon phases is shown. You can press the next and previous buttons to navigate to future or previous dates. Clicking the middle button returns to the current dates.

This plasma applet is based on Luna by Davide Bettio which is part of the default KDE 4.2 installation.

Does not work any more

Interestingly I noticed today that this plasmoid does not work any more on my Kubuntu 9.10.
Plasma does not report errors, the plasmoid is shown but the moon is not drawn.
Plasmoidviewer claims the following:
Couldn't find node 0. Skipping rendering.
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap

Re: Re: Does not work any more

If the moon in Luna2 is supposed to be completely invisible on the new moon, then these remarks truly are a thoroughly embarrassing and, unfortunately, everlasting exposure of my ignorance.
Can someone confirm my assumption please

How do you like Plasma 5? The best KDE Desktop ever. Definitely a nice improvement. Not decided yet. Haven't tried it yet. I do not like some of the changes. KDE is taking the wrong way. I am still sticking with KDE 3.5. I have no opinion, but wanted to vote anyway.
